Watch me crank dat soldier boy then superman dat hoe...OR...watch me masturbate my erect penis then ejaculate on this promiscuous woman's back before sticking a sheet to the soiled spot on her back causing an eventual cape-like effect.

1. Song by Soulja Boy, makes no sense, has a single beat, the Boy raps in one tone, and has a dance that makes a choreographer cry whenever he walks into a party with the song playing. Its a disgrace to a cd

The name of a song by Soulja Boy, which serves to establish an equally idiotic dance. On par with who let the dogs out and the macarena, this song demonstrates no talent or creativity, and proves how stupid most followers of the hip-hop mainstream truly are.
